How about a chat pane?

I dont think I need to expand on the thread title, but I haven't had my morning coffee.
Pop a chat pane in above the pinned threads or on the side or something. This probably belongs in requests but I figured I'd leave the requests subforum for pokefarmer requests.
blah blah discord, but discord sucks. so... chat pane. <3

e\ actually, pop it in above the "visit X buddy" links at the top.. best place for it imho

Just put in the side of the website a comment box-like with chat features, must be logged in to access the chat feature so that members can see chat pane not being abused by visitors that aren't signed up to this.
